"The contractor took time to come to my home and spend ~30 min to look at the job, but never responded with an estimate. Also never responded after multiple attempts to contact them about when an estimate would be available, well over a month after the initial visit. If you are too busy to provide services, don't waste my time coming out in the first place, please.
-UPDATE: The company contacted us and apologized. The individual that came out apparently does not work there anymore. I would be OK to give them a second chance, as they seem to have good reviews.

"I bought this deal of 149 for 6 hour rotten repair and Jeff contacted me as soon as I bought it. He came in time the next day and did whole estimate for the jobs (1200+this deal). He wrote a proposal about the jobs, which made me think he was professional. He told me this would cost 2.5 days to finish and he would come here at the first day to guide his workers where need to repair, and charge me additional 1200 dollars so I originally thought this was reasonable. However, on the day of service, he didn't show up. Only his workers came in and asked me about where need to repair. At that time I began to confuse since I am not a good memory person as well as not a contractor, how can I remember all the details about the jobs. So I have to use my previous inspection report as a guide for them. OH EXCUSE ME!!! I really don't know how other contractors do this work but this makes me feel really bad. I have to stay at home all days to be a contractor. Then, the workers checked the parts I showed them and told me some rotten wood cannot be replaced and can only be repaired with some material, which was stated 'REPLACE' in Jeff's proposal. This would make labor time much shorter, so I called Jeff about this as well as if he would come that day. At first Jeff said he would come at some time, but then since the labor time is shorter, I want to argue the total cost he proposed. He became really RUDE and SHUT DOWN PHONE directly. And these two days, he never showed up again or call. This is the first time I met such rude response. On the other hands, the two workers are really professional and do the jobs in a good quality. In the end, the total working time is 9.5 hours plus 3 hours material purchase time. Only half of Jeff's proposed time. I am not a emotional person so I would not give all F rating for him. His workers are good and arrive in time everyday, however, this company owner is really really NOT PROFESSIONAL. Before I bought this deal, I found previous rating are not good for this company but I didn't trust that since reviews might be from their competitors' attack. Now I understand I should trust reviews and ratings.
We recently purchased a 2nd home on Lake James with an exterior that is 100% cedar. The exterior was in serious need of cleaning and re-staining. It had not been maintained; and, had a significant amount of mold staining and several areas of the trim had the original finish peeling off.
We contracted with Mike and Crystal to prep and re-stain the exterior of our home. Throughout the process, Mike demonstrated thoroughness, competency and responsibility. Mike and Crystal took personal responsibility to ensure they delivered a quality product. Mike kept his commitments and did not compromise his work product even when faced with the stripping process taking more time than he expected. He completed the project per the schedule he committed.
Mike demonstrated a high attention to detail in the finishing process and ensured the project was completed to my satisfaction. The home looks beautiful...we could not be happier.
I solicited bids from several paint contractors and evaluated several before selecting Mike. His pricing was very competitive versus several other contractors; but, I never observed where Mike cut corners.
I would definitely recommend MIke's Painting and will plan to use Mike again when we have painting needs.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.
There are approximately 5.33 board feet in a 2x4. You can use the board foot calculator in this article to easily find the answer. A 2x4 is 2 inches of thickness by 4 inches of width, so you need to find the length, with 8 feet being the most common. You’d use the calculator here to multiply 2 times 4 times 8, and then divide by 12, arriving at a total of 5.33 board feet.
Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.
Yes, a 2x6 should hold a porch swing and safely support the load. A smaller joist runs the risk of it not offering enough support for the swing. If you have a joist smaller than 2x6, add additional bolstering support.
You can enclose an open carport, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it’s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs.
